Method or Madness

Phenomenology as Knowledge Creator

Thomas A. Conklin

John Carroll University

This article reviews the research method of phenomenology and its use in understanding human experience. This is conceptualized in the context of a research study performed with nine participants and their experience of finding their "calling." Their experiences are used as the medium through which Husserl's method is explored. Questions and concerns about this alternative and nontraditional approach to creating and understanding new social knowledge are considered. Reflexivity and the researcher's psychological integrity in application of the method are explored.

Key Words: phenomenology • reflexivity • calling • Husserl
